Author Bio
A prolific and influential scholar known to believers and skeptics alike as "the father of modern creation science," Dr. Henry M. Morris truly was a man of science and a staunch man of God. He was even said to have set the terms of debate about evolution for the second half of the 20th century by one Pulitzer Prize-winning academician. Dr. Morris began his serious study of the Bible in the 1930s and authoring books in the 1940s, but it was his landmark work, co-authored with Dr. John Whitcomb, titled The Genesis Flood in 1961 that influenced generations to begin discovering the fallacies of evolution and the biblical truth of creation.
With over 60 books, founding and leading the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), Dr. Morris death in 2006 was a profound loss to millions.
Dr. Morris created a thriving legacy that continues to equip many Christians to be able to defend the accuracy and authority of Scripture today. The new Henry Morris Study Bible and other resources that he developed remain essential sources of knowledge and understanding for believers.
Dr. John Morris is president of the Institute for Creation Research. He received his Doctorate in Geological Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. He held the position of Professor of Geology before being appointed President in 1996. He currently travels and speaks on the topic of creation science.

TripAdvisor Reviews Sunshine Hostel Dresden
Travel Blogs from Dresden
Dresden Frauenkirche
The signature landmark of Dresden is the Frauenkirche, the Church of Our Lady. It is one of the most talked about German buildings in the recent past.
In World War II, air-raids wiped out Dresden, destroying many historic buildings and churches. Among them was the Frauenkirche, which collapsed into a 42 feet high pile of rubble; the ruins were left untouched for 40 years, a reminder of the destructive powers of war.
I'm nobody
Dresden was on our way to Prague so we thought we would look at the old city, and the church they had to rebuild after the serious bombing during the war. We had a walk around, saw some great historic buildings and had a beer. It was a lovely city but me and Roy were both hot now, so we pushed on to Prague to find a hotel.
We thought about camping but wanted easy down time.
... 8220;look" at the porcelain factory behind windows – yuk – and go through a sort of museum. The show room has lots for sale – dinner-sets and figurines etc but all out of my price range. Real nice stuff though.
Not a trusting society at the beer gardens. You have to pay a deposit for your glass – 2 Euro. Guess too many were walking.
The ice-creams and fattening desserts are getting bigger as ...
Dresden, German Christmas markets
... at work And meat roasting spits Live entertainment And made to wear kits The fair maiden, I Tried my archery skills If the target were game I'd have bulls eyed two kills All other markets Just seemed not compare But were still fun to visit In the cool Christmas air ~ Now when we think diary, Or at least kiwis do, We think lollies and ice blocks And Indians too Well we found a dairy Pfund's, true to its name Selling cheeses and milks In ...
Day One: My Impressions
... like this, but the door to my room won't lock or unlock from either side without the key. What if there's a fire and I can't find my key? At least I don't have to worry about forgetting my key! (which is 45 euros if I lose it!) 11. After getting into real Germany, as in Germany outside of the airport, I really wish I would have learned more German. 12. Going back to bed stuff, what is with the pillows? They are big squares. Why do they need to be so big? 13. ...

"The hotel locates in a very convenient location. It is right next to the Maharajalela monorail station & within walking distance of Chinatow..."
About the hotel
We built Grid 9 with a vision to create a social experience unlike any other hotel. Inspired by the design of a grid, we want the paths of our guests to intersect, forming a network of globetrotters around the world. More than just a hotel or a flashpacker, we are a hybrid of both.
From our pods to our rooms, from our lounge to our gastropub, the Grid 9 experience is what differentiates us from the pack. Located in the heart of KL, we are 10 minute walk to Chinatown and right next to the Jalan Maharajalela monorail station. P. S. The wifi is free =)

Room quality
Good value for what you have paid
The hotel locates in a very convenient location.
It is right next to the Maharajalela monorail station & within walking distance of Chinatown. (The staircase of monorail station would be a pain if traveling with large luggages, but this is not the hotel's fault).
The rooms facing the main road could be very noisy - if you prefer some quiet sleep, better ask the hotel to put you in a room not facing the road.
I stayed in the Standard double room, which came with a queen size bed & an en-suite. The picture in the photo gallery truly described the room. The room is clean and the bed was comfy. You could not expect luxury for a room that cost you only 125RM per night , but the room worth the money you are paying for.
No kettle were provided by the hotel - make sure you buy some bottle water before returning to the hotel as the nearest convenient store is 10 minutes walk away.

Want to hear something very cool? Here's a clip of Crosby, Stills & Nash's Graham Nash telling me who he'd sing with if he had one wish. It's a great story about a legend singing with other legends. (Note: one of the guys he talks about died last year, so you can tell this was recorded prior to 2014)
Turns out it's true!

We're building an exciting information source all about China.
We found existing web sites about China were poorly structured, too detailed (like Wikipedia) or just too old-fashioned. What we think is needed is a carefully constructed set of pages with strict editorial control so that links and pages are consistent, up-to-date and easy to navigate without clutter.
Our first release had a description of the provinces that make up China, this was followed by the dynasties that follow China's history and we are now adding all sorts of special features on traditions and culture. We hope you find the site the best place to start your study of China. We plan to release further pages on cities, current affairs, news, key figures, cultural background and anything else we hope you will find relevant to understanding this vast country.
If you think you know about China, check out your knowledge with our Quiz section, all the answers to the questions are somewhere on the web site. Our source section has full reviews and descriptions of over a hundred books about China that have been used as source material for the pages.
We chose the name "Chinasage" for the web site because this can be read as either "china sage" (中国英明 zhōng guó yīng míng) or "china's age" (中国时代 zhōng guó shí dài) , which reflects our aim of launching a new knowledge resource at a time when China has come of age in the World.
Here are the last few updates made to the web site. For older entries please visit our site updates page.
The 'treaty ports' of China 1840-1945 demonstrate the rapacious interest of foreign powers in opening up China for trade. The first treaty ports, including Shanghai and Hong Kong were opened after China's defeat in the First Opium War. The numbers grew to about a hundred by about 1900. Numbers began to fall at the start of the Republican era.
The tumultuous years of China 1860-1949 is reflected in the history of the development of the railways. Once again it was the foreign powers that took advantage of a weak Chinese government to build the railways and use them as a weapon for further exploitation.
Having completed a book on the Long March, I decided to greatly expand the description on the Chinasage web site. It is a fascinating tale, and came very close to disaster on a number of occasions. What could have been a heroic failure turned out to shape the politics of China for the next sixty years.
We have made a full scan of the text making some relatively minor corrections and re-organization. We have introduced more sub-headings to make it easier to find relevant sections in the text. Also, we have changed the quizzes so you get a summary of all the questions and answers at the end. Single quiz questions are now scattered over the site and these will change regularly.
We use a consistent style for links within the site. An internal link taking you to another page within our site is shown like this while a link to a page on any other web site is shown like this ➚.
We use Chinese characters wherever we feel it appropriate. Most browsers should display both the characters and the pinyin correctly. Where the older Wade Giles system is still used we make sure this is highlighted. Except where stated all characters are the modern simplified form used in the People's Republic rather than the traditional ones (pre-1970s). To help you learn Chinese characters many of the very common characters are highlighted thus: 中 hovering the mouse over the character pops up a box showing derivation and usage information for the character.
Dates are given using the BCE/CE (Before Common Era and in Common Era) year convention rather than BC/AD. If a date is not followed by BCE or CE it should be assumed that is CE.
All the text on this web site is our own, we do not just copy and paste from other web sites. We research each topic from a number of separate sources. The only exception to this are quotations and image credits. All text is our copyright and can not be used/copied without our permission.
We are independent of any other company or government, the opinions expressed are our own. We do not receive funding from any external agency or organization.
We are extremely grateful to the many people who have put their photographs online for anyone to adapt and use. Without them our site would be very drab. If we are not using the image license correctly please let us know.
Some pages use Javascript ➚ to create special effects such as our airport table and calendar. We are grateful to the original authors for providing their code to be used and adapted by anyone else.
The online Chinese dictionary uses the definition from the CC-CEDICT project ➚ for which we are grateful for a generous free license.
Feel free to contact Chinasage to point out any errors, omissions or suggestions on how to improve this web site.

Yet another cat naming question...
My roommate and I have just adopted this cat, an 8 year old male, and are hoping to get ideas on what to rename him. He's currently known as Fantik (apparently this means candy wrapper in Russian), and comes from a previous household where they couldn't keep him because of allergies. [more inside]
Really? They used to call him Hansel Solo at school!
How do you get people to call you by a nickname without having to draw it to their attention? [more inside]
Her Cats Were Named...
A female detective had two cats, which she'd named Onanoff and Offanon. Some variation in the spelling is likely. This was Sci Fi radio program in the 80's. Anybody remember her, or her kitties? Super bonus points for a link to the archives, if it exists. Google won't even discuss it with me.

Origin of Los Angeles street names?
I'm looking for a resource that lists Los Angeles city street names and their origin/namesake. There's an old Angelfire site that does exactly what I'm looking for, but only for a few major streets. Where can I find information similar to what that site offers, but for lesser-known streets?

What arbitary systems for naming things have been thought of or used?
Can anyone give me any examples of naming strategies? They can be for buildings, places, people, things, pets, computer files–whatever–but I'd especially like examples where the resulting name is more or less arbitary, ie with as little human choice in it as possible. Examples from fiction are fine, so are cultural, historical or private strategies that people may have used. Any example, basically of a system that delivers a name for something. Thanks!
What are some nice feminine sounding gender neutral names?
To be more clear, what do you think are some names that, while you would first assume someone with that name is a woman, if it was a man you wouldn't be all like "Why is this guy called Jennifer?" [more inside]
Name our co-op!
We're trying to start a co-op in the greater Boston area. Our values are kid-friendliness, parent-friendliness, social justice, and intentional community. We'd like it to be a peaceful, welcoming place. What should we name it?

Actually, that isn't my name
My name is Stephanie*. I go by Stephanie and always introduce myself that way. People shorten or change my name a lot - I get Steph and Stephie frequently. I don't like this, but can't think of a non-rude, non-awkward way to ask work colleagues and casual acquaintances to quit it (I don't have this problem with friends). How have others dealt with this, or should I just get used to being called Stephie, which makes me feel like some sort of repugnant plush unicorn? *Ok, not really, but something similar
What is the comic/cartoon connection?
My neighbors' outdoor cats, whom I catsit occasionally and interact with regularly, have names that I cannot quite parse, even though my neighbor has repeated them for me on several occasions. Both cats are male. One cat is "Dillon" or "Dylan." The other cat's name sounds like "Sits" or "Zits" or "Sitz." When I looked confused at some point, my neighbor said the names were "from a comic" or "from a cartoon." [more inside]
Can you two just please introduce yourselves because I have no idea!
I've had this silly and embarrassing little problem for years and I'm noticing that it's getting worse. Sometimes, when I run into somebody I know or if I'm introducing somebody I know to somebody they don't know, I truly blank out on the name of the person I know. [more inside]
Who named Ghost Ditch? And when?
This past weekend I drove from Los Angeles to Tucson via Interstate-10, and took to noticing the names of the various ditches and washes that are spanned by the highway out in the middle of the high lonesome desert. There are a lot of them. Ghost Ditch, Taro Ditch, Larry Ditch, Stubby Wash, Fornat Wash, Itta Wash, Edom, Mccoy, Rollie, Bula, Sutro, Calotus, Esso, Arco, Teed, Turala, maybe a hundred between the ditches and the washes. The names don't seem to refer to nearby municipalities (there aren't any) or other geographical features, and are clearly part of the National Bridge Inventory. How were these 'waterways' named? Who named them? Were they named before the freeway required infrastructure to pass over them, or during the construction process, or when the NBI was implemented, or after the fact altogether?

name my kid for a hero of cosmopolitanism
So my wife is pregnant. Hooray! (Still early enough that we don't know the gender). We're starting to think about names. It seems to me that the world's great hope and story of progress is the expansion of rights and consideration of the views & interests of an ever-widening swath of humanity. Which historical figures stand for pluralism, for rejecting provincialism, in word or deed? I've picked up, but haven't yet read Kwame Anthony Appiah's Cosmopolitanism; I'd be grateful for suggestions of books or other resources that might be useful. [more inside]

Why are wine bottles named after old, dead, semitic men?
Why are large-format wine bottles predominantly named after biblical figures (e.g. this reasonably comprehensive Wikipedia page)? The answer is not easily forthcoming on either the internet (although Google has been asked "why do wine bottles have biblical names?" before) or in my collection of food-studies books. Any ideas?

"Pigeon" "Roach" and "Rat" are right out
A New York client has asked for a group of names (3 to 6) with which to market some high-end luxury residences in Midtown. The previous theme was "theater" and they'd like something different.

(Once I have that, the individual names will probably come.) Perhaps you have some ideas? Many thanks.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle insists his shell-shocked side still have what it takes to clinch Barclays Premier League survival despite tossing away two potentially crucial points at home to West Brom.
Coyle's men looked sure to head into next week's final game at Stoke with their destiny in their own hands as they cruised into a 2-0 lead against the Baggies while relegation rivals QPR were being held at home.
But in a calamitous final five minutes, first Rangers grabbed a late winner at Loftus Road then James Morrison crashed in a last-minute equaliser for Roy Hodgson's side - meaning nothing but a win next week will do for the Trotters.
Coyle said: "We know we have to go and win next week. We have the opportunity to go and right what went wrong, and that's the beauty of football.
"We've shown we can win away from home and that's what we have to do again."

The realities of Army motorcycle accidents
May 2, 2014
I don't like to start these columns, or any of my correspondence to the field, with bad news.

2nd BCT Paratroopers wear denim jeans in protest of sexual assault
Apr 30, 2014
In 1997, an 18-year-old girl was picked up for her first day of drivers training by her 45-year-old instructor in Rome, Italy. The instructor then sexually assaulted the student. After threatening to kill her if she reported his actions to anyone, he abandoned the girl in an alley, leaving her to find her way home. That night, the victim told her parents about the sexual assault and they pressed charges against the instructor. The instructor was convicted and sentenced. A year later, the Italian Supreme Court overturned the sentence stating that because the young girl wore tight jeans, there was no way the instructor was able to take them off without the help of the victim, therefore, making the act consensual. The Italian Supreme Court decision and statement caused outrage and protest in Italy. Women of the Italian Parliament showed their support for the victim by wearing jeans to work. Since then, Denim Day has become an annual event for many around the world.

Help Your Children Recharge through Sleep
Apr 28, 2014
Sleep is critical to a child's growth and development. Putting children to bed every night at the same time helps them grow up happy and healthy. From the moment they wake up to the moment they fall asleep, children exert a lot physical and mental energy, parents can attest. Many military children also have to deal with the stress of having a deployed parent (or parents), who may then be injured, and frequent moves, which mean saying goodbye to friends, as well as having to start a new school and make new friends. (Service members and their children have proven to be very resilient despite all the challenges.)

Army Nurse Corps Collection Finding Aid
Apr 25, 2014
The U.S. Army Nurse Corps (ANC) was established in 1901 as a permanent corps within the U.S. Army Medical Department. Because of the efforts of Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee and advocates for a professional nursing element within the U.S. Army, legislation was included into Section 19 of the Army Reorganization Act and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate with some modification on February 2, 1901. Prior to the formal and legal recognition of nurses within the Army Medical Department, individuals had been providing care to sick and wounded soldiers as early as 1775.

Benedict Cumberbatch at the 2014 Oscars. He will play Hamlet at London's Barbican Theatre. – EPA
Benedict Cumberbatch will put his own spin on William Shakespeare's iconic "to be or not to be" soliloquy in a new revival of Hamlet.
The Sherlock star will tread the boards as the melancholy and indecision prone prince of Denmark at London's Barbican Theatre, a spokeswoman for the actor confirmed. The show will debut in August 2015, and Lyndsey Turner (Machinal) will direct the production.
Cumberbatch last appeared on stage in 2011 in a Danny Boyle-directed adaptation of Frankenstein, alternating the roles of monster and maker with Jonny Lee Miller, and picking up an Olivier Award for his troubles. In a delicious coincidence, Miller went on to star as Sherlock Holmes in CBS' update of the Baker Street sleuth, Elementary.
On screen, Cumberbatch recently lent his dulcet tones to the role of the dragon in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and appeared in 12 Years a Slave. He will be playing Enigma code breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game.
Cumberbatch's involvement in Hamlet was first reported by the Daily Mail. – Reuters

Historical Traveler Reviews Mount Royale Hotel York
Where to Stay in York
I just took my family to York this past weekend for a three day break and it was great! We came to see the Jorvik Festival and after reviewing TripAdvisor, we chose to stay at the Mount Royale Hotel. Although a 15 minute walk to the Jorvik Center, the hotel offered clean, large rooms, and great service. The adjacent restaurant, One19, offered great food with a wide variety of choices, ranging from about 12 to 16 pounds for a main dish. Abdu Naeb, did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome and epitomized the term customer service. All the hotel and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful, and management took every opportunity to see to our needs. As Americans living in England, this was one of the best experiences we've had so far. Hotels in London could learn something from this little hotel in York. I'd highly recommend the Mount Royal Hotel to anyone.
A Right Royal Royale
We stayed at the Mount Royale over the weekend 6th - 8th Janary 2006. We booked room 31, which is one of the ground floor suites with a veranda overlooking the gardens. Obviously at this time of year the gardens were fairly barren, but in spring and summer the veranda would be covered in clematis and other climbing plants. The room was sumptuous and beautifully appointed. The facilities in the room were above average and the beverages and bathroom extras were excellent.
We ate in the hotel restaurant on our first night and were more than happy with the quality of food and first class service. The bar is friendly yet discreet and there was a pianist playing on both evenings. Breakfast in this hotel is excellent and anyone eating the full English grill would be hard pressed to find themselves hungry by lunchtime! The eggs benedict were also superb, as were the fresh fruits and range of cereals.
The walk into town does not take more than 10 minutes and is very straightforward.
If there is room for one criticism it would be the sauna/steam room facilities, which are not able to be on at the same time. I opted for the sauna, which entailed a damp walk through the gardens only to find a luke-warm room, which was disappointing. Maybe it got hotter, but I gave up waiting to find out! The hot-tub was great.
However, if it is good, friendly, efficient service that means the most to fellow travellers, the Mount Royale could not be faulted. Every single member of staff from the management to the chambermaids were polite, charming and really made our stay very special.
Definately a hotel to stay at again.
Lovely hotel
A lovely hotel, 10 minutes walk from York Centre, with Parking. It has a beautiful garden with a heated pool, hot tub and steam room. It has alot of character and serves lovely breakfasts too.
Very spacious room, but a bit too far from city center
Our room at the Mount Royale Hotel in York was very spacious, as we were upgraded to one of the garden rooms with a king bed from the standard double we selected upon booking. The garden that our room looked out upon was very beautiful. The room's decor was sort-of late 70s/early 80s kitsch--struggling to be opulent but falling short in 2005; it needs a new bedspread, carpet and the like to spice things up a bit. The walk-in closet was large and there was a nice sitting area by the television. The bathroom was fine for the most part, but smelled a little old and mildewy. It was a nice three-star room for the price; nothing exceptional and definitely not the luxury of the same four- or five-star hotel one could get in America for the price including the poor exchange rate.
The breakfast was adequate, but the service was very nice. The hotel's staff seemed very eager to please and make the stay of all their guests pleasant. Our biggest complaint was the location from the walled city's center. It was probably a 25-minute walk to the Minster, and a 20-minute walk to the surrounding restaurants and charming shops. It's not so bad on a nice day, but rather torturous in freezing cold weather and rain and equally miserable after a very long day of walking.
Quite good
The Mount Royale is in a great position just 10 mins walk from York centre and has good parking provided you arrive early, the rooms are very nice and individual with nice furniture, good bed linen and modern clean bathrooms, our rooms looked out over the large gardens to the rear.All the staff are friendly and couldnt be more helpfull apart from maybe 1 night staff, a bar man/night porter who could use some happy lessons.
The hotel though is tired and in need of some TLC, hallways, stairs and landings all need redecorating to a modern standard, this is a shame because this place has loads of charm and character. The same can be said for the exterior which also needs lick of paint, so to the gardens and public areas in general which need some looking after.
I can imagine the gardens being a great place to relax in the summer months, taking a swim in the good size outdoor pool, or having a couple of drinks under the massive garden umberellas and dining outside.
I will stay here again as it is good value compared to the none discript usual large hotel chains, however this quite good hotel could be excellent.
Wedding Anniversary
We have now visited The Mount Royale four times to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and have never been disappointed. The room we have is just perfect, large and very quiet and overlooking the delightful gardens.
The staff cannot be more helpful. Breakfast is outstanding, especially the smoked haddock with poached eggs. Evening meals are very good too with a bottle of wine thrown in if you eat before a certain time.The distance into the city is only 10 minutes and after the huge breakfast this is an ideal walk.
A Memorable Weekend
I stayed at the Mount Royale Hotel with my partner for what was to be a special weekend. The room was absolutely fantastic, we had booked a garden suite which had a beautiful veranda and a walk-in-wardrobe. The garden was spectacular and the restaurant , which was open to the public, was smart and the food delicious. The staff were friendly and couldn't do more to help. It wasn't far to walk to the bars and main attractions of York and there was plenty of information on what to do at the hotel. Parking was a bit squishy due to the restaurant, but adequate. Would certainly stay again.
Okay/Can Probably Find Better
We stayed at the Mount Royale the first weekend in August. First, let me say, York is a fantastic place - full of history and interesting places to visit. Then let me say, that you can probably find a better place to stay than the Mount Royale. I booked it primarily because of the reviews in here. There were five of us, so my mother and kids took a triple, while my wife and I stayed in a double. Our room (# 18) was at the top of the first set of stairs and overlooked the patio. It was extremely disappointing and had no personality at all. Beyond that, there were a loud group of people who congregated outside on the patio about 11:00 pm or so and talked loudly for a couple of hours. Combined with the people stomping above us, and all the sounds of people walking up the stairs, we were in an extremely noisy part of the hotel and did not sleep well. The hotel did graciously move us the next night to a better location, but acted surprised when we asked to move. Our new room was very spacious and was well decorated, but was over the front door so we heard everyone who came in. It was a better room and we slept well. My kids and my mother's room was fine. The full English breakfasts were very good and served in a lovely room. Excellent eggs benedict and fish cakes. Not enough to raise them to four stars however. Be advised, as well, that it is quite a hike to the medieval city itself. I'm not sure where I would stay, but would not recommend here.
Huge Room!
We recently took our two teenage children on a whirlwind tour of the UK and stayed at 8 different hotels. York was a challenge for me to find appropriate accommodations because it was the weekend and we were only going to stay in the city one night. Most hotels required a two night stay. The Mount Royale was very accomodating so we chose to stay there. We loved the location - in a more upscale residential neighborhood within walking distance (plan on 20 minutes) of all of the major attractions. There were many hotels that were closer, but not nearly as quiet. York is a wild town after dark with lots of pubs and LOTS of drinking. So it was nice to have a haven a bit off the beaten path. Our family room was just HUGE, by far the biggest room we had. It had two double beds so my husband and I had to split up. There was a great bathroom, a large working desk and a larger screened television complete with a DVD player a comfortable sofa and chair. The front desk has some films they will loan you but they are a bit outdated. The gardens are beautiful - complete with walking paths - plus there is a hot tub and outdoor pool which isn't very common in England. The hours were surprising, however, so we didn't get to make use of either one. The breakfast was ample and cooked to order, with cold selections served buffet style. A little pricey for a family room, but well worth it!
Home from home
Good old fashioned personal service. Nothing too much trouble. Ask for a garden room or one that overlooks the delightful garden. Food very good, especially the breakfasts. Within walking distance of York centre and railway station.
